1 July, 2016 - Collections, Giveaway, Summertime

Goodmorning Maja fans,

I am delighted that you are here because I’d like to show you a card that I created with the super cute new “Summertime”collection! This collection has wonderful images on it and lovely new prints it screams summer…..also it has different color schemes for instance blue/cream, red, pink/cream and also a little green so you can make all sorts of different projects that you prefer. Today I went for the pretty red/green/cream palette. For this card I used a bunch of dies too 😉

It’s a card with a see through part. Behind the French Lattice die I put a piece of transparent sheet you see that on my detailed pictures more then here. I just love that bike so much that I had to fussy cut it and use it on my card.

The flowers are handmade with dies and all the leaves you see are also dies! This collection is for sure going to be one that I will be using a lot more in my future projects. You can also have a chance on working with this amazing collection because later today I will be hosting this months give away on winning this paper collection on my blog…..so if you want a chance please visit my blog later today 😉

Maja Designs papers used: 6×6 Summertime paper pad, Wind in my hair {by the sea}, Greenery, Light scarlet, Is always the best & Flowers everywhere {In the garden}

Mood Board June

Dear Maja friends,

Welcome here today. It’s time for a brand new mood board. Are you up for it? 😉

This is how we use the mood boards:

Definition mood board – n

[a board used by designers on which samples of various colours and textures are mounted to help in deciding which elements complement each other]

We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. However – we highly recommend you to follow the theme.. Feel free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme.

We will pick a winner and present it here on the blog June 27th.

Have in mind that these challenges are a really great way for us to discover new talents and maybe some future Creative Team members…

How to participate?

♥ Create anything you’ll like – a layout, a card, something altered or maybe a canvas. Use Maja papers primarily! Take a nice picture of it and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu. We also need to know your full name, address and a phone number. Please specify what collection you would like to win, if you are the lucky one. We will also want to know if you would like it in the size 12*12 or 6*6. Please send us the pictures in the size of 800 pixels on the width. We would be so grateful if you also could change the file name of the photo to your first and last name including your country.

♥ Feel free to send us more than one picture, from different angles or some close-ups – or why not more than one project?

♥ Publish the project/s on your blog (or/and any social media, e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest) with a link to our site. Please also add the image of the mood board.

♥ Feel free to combine your entry with other challenges.

♥ The winner will be revealed the last Monday each month, at the Maja blog. The winner will be sent one collection by their choice, and also a digital Winner’s Badge to use and brag with.

We need your creation June 23rd at the latest.

Thank you & Good luck!

And here is some inspiration from our talented team:

Amy Voorthuis

Di Garling

Evgenia Petzer

Nancy Dynes

Pascale B

I hope you got inspired..! Really looking forward to see your creations this time..! ♥
Hugs.

Camilla
